When it came time to crown Miss Universe, Harvey declared that Miss Columbia, Ariadna Gutierrez had won. In the moments that followed, Gutierrez donned the crown and waved graciously, blowing kisses to her admirers.

Awkwardly, the crown was removed from Gutierrez’s head and placed on that of a stunned Wurtzbach.

Harvey soon took to Twitter to apologize for the gaffe, and Twitter and Instagram responded with good-humored memes at the host’s expense:
